Connect DVR LAN connection to your LAN router. 2. To connect to the world wide area network for remote viewing you must configure your router to allow port forwarding. Super Circuits does not provide technical support for router setup. Contact your service provider/router manufacturer for support on setting up port forwarding. Use port number 8000. 3. Do you have a dynamic or static IP address? Note: Static IP address is highly recommended, because of the video connection reliability. Call your IP provider about setting up a static IP address for your DVR. 4. Make sure you have DirectX version 9.0c on your computer. If not go to www.microsoft.com/directx 5. Make sure that you have the following information from your IP provider or IT department: A. IP address. B. Subnet Mask. C. Default Gateway. D. If there is a DNS number. E.

FIG.2 If you re seeing Request timed out and Packets: Sent X, Received = X, Lost = X like FIG.3 below, then you have not established a LAN connection between the DVR and the computer. You will need to recheck all DVR network settings above, check with IP provider or IT department, router settings. Make sure cables are good, and connected. FIG.3 This could also be due to a bad cable between the DVR and router or bad DVR Network Interface Controller (NIC). Check the Ethernet cable connection on the back of the DVR and check for green lights and that they blink when you ping the DVR. If it is not blinking, this could indicate that the DVR s network interface card is bad and call us for tech support. If green light is blinking, as a final check, connect the DVR directly to the computer using an Ethernet crossover cable (which is available at any electronics store such as Radio Shack, or Best Buy, Circuit City, etc ) eliminating all other cables and equipment. Crossover cables are only used for testing purposes. And repeat the pinging process. If after connecting the crossover cable and you are successful in pinging your DVR, the problem is with your router, cables or the IP address. Check with your IP provider, check your cables and make sure your router is configured for port forwarding. If you re not successful in pinging your DVR call Supercircuits for technical help. --------------------------------------------------------------- PC Ethernet Crossover Cable DVR 11
